    Anyone planning on seeing this?

    Horror movies like this tend to scare the crap out of me, but I am intrigued at how well this one is done compared to the original.

    From what I have read this one is much gorrier.

    I was tempted to pickup the box set that came out a couple weeks back, but never did. The wifes, never seen it, so we'll have to rent it I guess.

    What is in the box set? I saw a trailer the other day for a movie about witchcraft starring Kate Hudson. It looked really good

    Box set contains the original three movies remastered and re-released. It was sold for $29.95 I think on the street date.

    i first read the book in '79, yes it was that long ago. i found the book to be addictive reading. none of the movies to date have lived up to the writing. maybe this current one, i dunno.

    I very seriously doubt the new one will live up to the book. In fact I would venture to say would think the movie is based loosley on the book if what I read was true.

    Seems like very few movies live up to the book. Thats one reason to stop reading them
